The editor is tempted to place 1.1. giving" in parenthesis after ""Thanks." For both our welcome and our thanks are saturated with the glorious Christian notion of giving. Immediately I am caught in a paradox, for, Franciscan.-bred, I have always held that the attitude of receiving is more fundamental than that of giving. Nonetheless, we must thank, and in only a few cases, welcome the names on the new CAECILIA masthead. None of the new Con. tributing Editors are newcomers to readers of CAECILIA, save two. And we hope that they are not really newcomers, for Father Weakland, of the Latrobe Archabbey (Pa.) is widely respected in music and musicological circles; and Paul Manz, of Concordia Col. lege, St. Paul, Minnesota, is our nominee for the Next American. Organist.-To.-Be.-Heard.-From. A graduate cum laude of the Royal Flemish Conservatory, Antwerp, and a subsequent student of Hel.. mut Walcha, he is also organist at Mt. Olivet Lutheran Church, Minneapolis. Weare profoundly grateful for the graciousness with which all accepted our invitation to join the CAECILIA staff. Of the new CAECILI.t\ Associates, let it be said that this is no mere list. They are, all of them, people whom we have had no hesitation to call upon in the past, people who have responded with interest and generosity. (There are others whose kindliness we would not press, save on spcific occasion.) Protestant or Catholic, they are, at base, devoted to the proper worship of our common Father, Son and Holy Spirit. To get back to, or approach, Thanksgiving: (we know better than you, alas, that this is the Summer number of Volume 89, and so does the U. S. Postal Department.) But we feel that CAECILIA does owe a Thanksgiving-to our Lord and Saint· Caecilia; to all its friends, subscribers and contributors. It has been a slow but steady ClJndgratifying business. We no longer expect subscriptions to sustain the magazine and advertising simply has not come. But at least we are not commercially beholden. Therefore we must again register our thanks to people like Roger Wagner and his Chorale, Msgr. Wegner and the Boys Town Choir, Msgr. Pauley and Paul Koch, Father Brunner, Father Schuler, Sr. Rosalie and unnamed others who have subsidized it personally or with concerts. During the past year we have paid one half of our debt. And if the Postal People are decent (i.e., restore our mailing privileges), they will per. haps teach us to be more prompt. And we hope, honestly, with our expanded staff, to have something in each issue of practical help to each subscriber. 43 TENTH ANNIVERSARY PROGRAM LITURGICAL MUSIC WORKSHOP August 19;31, 1962 Boys Town, Nebraska Sunday, August 19,1962-2:00 P.M.

The first is a contrast between flutes and strings.

The cantus of the fourth is played once again on a solo reed ,with a running flute counterpoint. The last is a toccata based on a text of St. Ambrose.
